Cabinn Copenhagen

To be honest, staying in Copenhagen is expensive. This was the cheapest place nearest to the city centre. But it's overrun with tourists / backpackers / students, etc. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. You don't have housekeeping, if you want a clean towel you need to take your old one to reception for exchange. Reception - this is a challenge. So when we arrived we were too early for check in, by about half hour. So we were told we were too early and needed to wait until the magic hour of 3pm. It was 2.30pm so we though we'd hang around reception. We noticed an electronic number board above each staff station on the reception desk, which suddenly at 2.55pm started changing by incremental numbers. Why is this? Then we realised we should have been told to "take a number" from the machine so we could have our turn at reception. So that meant we'd wasted some time. Took our number and waited our turn. Check in was sort of straight forward, although the receptionist tried to charge us when we'd already paid at the time of booking. But she was still learning the role so we didn't make a fuss. You have to take a ticket if you want to buy something from the reception area, you can't do two separate things on one ticket! So once we'd booked in we had to wait until our other number came up so we could buy a drink. Rooms - small but has everything you need. The tap in the bathroom leaked every time it was turned on, so I went back to reception (took a ticket) and asked if it could be mended. However, maintenance do not work weekends, so the earliest it could be mended was Monday (we were leaving Monday so that was that). It's quite a walk in to the city centre, the Cabinn is based in the business district so don't expect a leisurely stroll, it's more like a 15 minute fast walk to anywhere.
